Abstract
A device for distributing fluid from an inlet to an outlet, in which a series of plates in stack configuration provides a continuously subdividing fluid flow path between the inlet and the outlet such that the fluid distribution at the outlet is over a substantially greater area than the fluid at the inlet. Each plate in the stack of plates is provided with a plurality of apertures which in stack configuration define a plurality of fluid flow paths symmetrically about the axis of the fluid inlet.
